I have quite a few old catalogs that I want to put a label on... I found the label I want to use (the poem below), but my question is, where on the catalog, do you put the label?

The date on this catalog may be old,
But look inside and you'll be sold…
Many great products you will see

I put the label right in the middle of the cover. And the version of that poem I use has 2 more lines at the end:
If extra income is what you need
I can help you to succeed.I use labels that are 10 to a page, so they're a little bigger than the typical 30-up. Heck, I used to use the shipping labels that are 6 to a page. Those have room for the poem and one's contact info all on the same label.
 
I also add a line that says prices and availablity are subject to change.

You guys are great! Thanks!!!:thumbup:

I have some of the 2X4 10 to a page labels, I think I'll use those!
 
That is a great idea. I love it. I still have about 20 fall/winter catalogs I am going to do that to. This is why I love this site so much, many mnay great ideas!
 
I've been putting mine on the front - I love the extra lines. Thanks everyone!
 
That is a good idea to put the big labels. I got sent a lot of extra Fall catalogs so I was putting my label over the date that said "Fall 2008" so that nobody would know what season it is from. That is a great idea to have the little poem!
 
I also added a line that says, "Contact me Saturday & get a free gift from me!" plus my contact information. That way the longer I have the old catalogs, "Saturday" will still work out okay!
 
I put mine on the front cover.
